[r-t] Composition challenge (without html)

[Ian Fielding]

You could always repackage the 7 part as a 1 part with the Tenor as observation bell - I doubt anybody would notice......

Hi John ,

That is impressively quick!

I forgot to say that martins preference was for a 1 part but lets see what the maximum is for a 7 part first and then maybe you could search for a 1 part.

Cheers

Roddy

Hi Roddy,

I think there are some flaws in your reasoning.  If you start with a lead of say Glasgow, there are then 240 leads out of 20160 that you cannot then ring.  (London=234, Belfast=232, Bristol=216).  However, with each subsequent true lead you add to the composition, there is an increasing chance that the false leads will overlap.  It seems from your calculations that the average comes down to around 100 for a peal length.  I did try a search a while ago which tried to maximize the overlaps in order to produce better results, but I don't think it helped much.

I just started a search for 7 parts that meet your criteria.  The longest so far is 9408, so I think it quite likely that 10000 is possible.

John

Sometime last year Martin Whiteley asked me if I could produce a composition of 10000 changes of Bristol, Belfast, London and Glasgow with similar properties to the 5024 I produced some years ago.

I am struggling to get past 6500 changes and have done some thinking on why this might be.

There are, with the treble fixed, 5040 lead heads and for 4 methods there are then 20160 possibilities.

Taking my own 2 one-part compositions and those of John Goldthorpe(JMG) and Glenn Taylor(GAAT) plus 2 of my own five-part compositions plus one of John Goldthorpe's seven-part compositions I have computed the number of false lead heads used to be as
follows:-

5024 - 16438
5122 - 16632
GAAT - 16776
JMG  - 15810
RRH5 - 16120
RRH5 - 16095
JMG7 - 17059

This is approximately ratio of 100 false leads used for each 1 lead in the peal. A peal being approx 160 leads and all of these compositions using about 16000 false leads.

If this is anything like accurate then the theoretical maximum number of leads to be added to an existing peal will be
(20160-16000)/100 = 42 which gives another (42*32) = 1344 changes ie about 6500 changes maximum.

Can anybody see any flaw in my thinking or, even better, can anybody produce 10000 or more changes in these 4 methods, all the work with at least 2000 changes of each method?

Roddy
